harder for the so-called dreamers that-- than dick durbin has and he will continue to be-- have the gratitude of many americans. my friend, senator rubio, who obviously is a new, but incredibly important voice in this whole issue of immigration reform, senator menendez has also played a key role and of course, senator graham, who is uncharacteristically absent from this gathering. as senator schumer mentioned, it's the first step in what will continue to be difficult, but achievable. i don't think i have to remind anyone, the last major attempt was over six years ago, now we will again attempt to commit the remaining resources needed to secure the border, modernize and streamline our current immigration system, and create a tough, but fair path to citizenship for those here illegally. and i would like to testify again, the security situation along the southwest border is not perfect, there remains several areas, particularly in arizona where people's homes are being invaded. where drug smugglers are crossing property every night and these citizens deserve the same level of security

as i mentioned, senator durbin and i talked to the president and he was delighted we had come to an agreement. we will be working together very closely to try and get something done. obviously, the senate has a chance to create a bipartisan coalition because we need both parties to suck sold. that gives us a unique opportunity but we intend as senator john mccain said, the white house, the senate, and the house of representatives, all trying to work together, it seems to me at least, that senate is the most fortuitous place to move forward. >>shepard: one question so many people have, what is required for this path to citizenship to happen? carl cameron is back with us from capitol hill. karl, what has to happen? >>carl: will sponsors and advocates will talk about being a path to citizenship contingent on, and they will rattle off a list. first is securing the borders. that is contentious. there are some who believe the only way do secure the border is with a fence from the pacific ocean to the gulf coast. maybe say that is unrealistic and it would be porous and people could get over, under,

i would like to thank the democratic leader dick durbin. there has not been any one in america who has fought harder for the so-called dreamers that dick durbin has. >> i thought they were going to embrace at one point. >> it's so rare that you see that kind of bipartisanship these days on capitol hill. that's why i say it's so wear and so tenuous and should the president be doing something to potentially risk that. let them go with it. let's see what happens. we will have a fair and balanced debate about that exact question and whether the president is putting a deal that is very important to a lot of people in this country at risk by a political maneuver. we will talk about it. >> we have new developments today on the big tax hike that congress passed a few weeks ago. it was supposed to target the rich. but as we have reported the tax increase actually affected all three quarters of the united states. now we are learning it has affected so many middle class americans that consumer confidence is slipping. fox business network elizabeth mcd
